MOUNTING THE HIVEAP 170
You can mount the HiveAP 170 on a variety of outdoor structures and adjust the orientation to vertical for optimum
radio transmission. For example, you can mount the HiveAP 170 on a non-penetrating roof stand or to a Winegard
bracket, often used for mounting satellite dishes. The mounting bracket is adjustable to fit poles with a 1" to 3.5"
(2.5 cm to 8.9 cm) diameter.
To provide unobstructed RF coverage, mount the HiveAP 170 in a relatively open area. At a minimum, mount it on a
pole, mast, of flat surface so that the antennas have at least a three-foot clearance from any nearby obstructions.
After checking that you have all the materials and tools necessary, and familiarizing yourself with the safety and
site hazard warnings, you are ready to mount the unit. You can mount the HiveAP 170 on a vertical or horizontal
pole, or attach it to a flat surface. These options are described below. The device and mounting accessories
required for mounting the HiveAP 170 are shown in Figure 2.
Figure 2 HiveAP 170 mounted on a vertical pole with major devices and accessories called out
PoE Connections
In most cases, you can connect an Ethernet cable directly from your HiveAP 170 to a PoE-enabled switch, or to a PoE
injector inside the building (see Figure 2). If you are not using a PoE-enabled switch, you must connect to an
intermediary PoE injector, then to your switch (see Figure 4 on page 8). In cases where your HiveAP 170 is located a
significant distance from the building, you can install an outdoor waterproof PoE injector, available separately (SKU
AH-ACC-OINJ-30W).
Note: For best performance, deploy HiveAPs at least 100 feet (30.5 m) apart from each other.

Flat Surface Mount
The following steps explain how to mount the HiveAP 170 on a flat surface. You will need the plane bracket and the
four sleeve-bolt assemblies.
1. Use the plane bracket as a template to mark the location of the mounting holes on the surface.
2. Drill a 5/16” (8 mm) hole to a depth of 1.5" (38 mm) into each mark.
3. Remove the nuts and washers and hammer the unthreaded end of a sleeve-bolt assembly into each hole. Make
sure the slotted end of the sleeve goes into the wall. Be sure to leave a minimum of 3/8” (9.5 mm) of the
threaded bolt protruding from the front of the wall.
4. Place a lock washer and flat washer on each of the four hex screws and use the screws to attach the plane
bracket to the back of the HiveAP 170, as shown in Step 1 on page 4.
5. Place the holes in the plane bracket over the mounting bolts and attach the unit using a hex nut, lock washer,
and flat washer on each bolt to tighten the unit to the surface. As you tighten the nuts, the flanges on the back
of the bolt sleeve will expand in the hole, securing the device in place.
6. Connect the grounding cable to the grounding lug on the unit, as shown in Figure 3 on page 7. Connect the other
end of the cable to an appropriate ground.
Note: If you are not installing the device on a concrete wall, you can use 2" (5 cm) threaded screws and plastic
wall anchors (not supplied) to mount the device.

ATTACHING EXTERNAL ANTENNAS
Once you have grounded your HiveAP 170, you are ready to connect the antennas.
The omnidirectional antennas are available from Aerohive (SKUs AH-ACC-170-ANT-2G,
AH-ACC-170-ANT-5G). These antennas fit the N-type antenna connectors on the top
and bottom of the HiveAP 170. The two connectors on the bottom of the unit are for
the 2.4 GHz antennas, and the two on the top of the unit are for the 5 GHz antennas
(device and antennas are labeled).
To connect the antennas, screw them onto the antenna connectors by hand, turning
them clockwise until tight.
Note: It is extremely important to properly ground your device to complete
your installation.
Note: You do not need to use a tool to tighten the antennas or apply self-
amalgamating PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) tape around the threads of
the connectors to create a waterproof seal.
Remove the short piece of cable sheath from the end of
the grounding cable that does not have the connector.
Wrap the exposed wires clockwise snugly around one
of the six grounding lugs and tighten the nut securely.
Connect the other end of the grounding cable to a
proper ground.

ATTACHING THE ETHERNET CABLE WATERPROOF HOUSING
The following steps explain how to ensure a weatherproof seal for the Ethernet cable using the waterproof housing.
1. Disassemble the waterproof housing.
There are three pieces: a threaded nut, a slotted cable grip, and a threaded housing.
2. Slide the threaded nut over the Ethernet cable.
3. Slip the slotted cable grip onto the Ethernet cable in front of the threaded nut.
4. Slide the threaded housing onto the cable and over the cable grip (the grip fits inside the housing).
5. Screw the threaded nut onto the threaded housing.
6. Plug the Ethernet cable into the connector. Screw the assembled housing onto the threaded connector cover.
7. Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to a PoE-enabled switch, or PoE injector. See Figure 4 on page 8.
CONNECTING TO THE NETWORK
The final step to the installation is to connect the HiveAP 170 to the network so that it can form a CAPWAP
connection to HiveManager, as shown in Figure 4.
After you cable the HiveAP to an Ethernet network and it is receiving PoE power, it automatically attempts to get its
network settings through DHCP and contact HiveManager. The process typically takes about five minutes to
complete. If you see the HiveAP listed on the Monitor > Access Points > HiveAPs page in the HiveManager GUI, the
initial setup is complete and you can begin managing the HiveAP through HiveManager.
Figure 4 Connecting the HiveAP 170 to the network
If the HiveAP does not appear in the HiveManager GUI after about ten minutes, read the rest of this guide to
understand how the HiveAP attempts to contact HiveManager and what you can do to help establish a connection
between the two devices.

Connecting to HiveManager
By default, a HiveAP acts as a DHCP client, and gets its network settings automatically from a DHCP server. (You can
also configure it with static network settings through the CLI. See "Using the Virtual Access Console" on page 10.)
After a HiveAP has its network settings, it then acts as a CAPWAP client and sends CAPWAP Discovery messages until
HiveManager, acting as the CAPWAP server, responds. CAPWAP (Control and Provisioning of Wireless Access Points) is
a protocol that access points use to contact and communicate with a management device and
When a HiveAP goes online for the first time without any specific CAPWAP server configuration entered manually or
received as a DHCP option, it progresses through the cycle of CAPWAP connection attempts shown in Figure 5.
Figure 5 Connecting to HiveManager
If a HiveAP forms a CAPWAP connection with the redirection server and its serial number of MAC address has been
assigned to a previously created VHM, to a physical HiveManager appliance, or to a HiveManager Virtual Appliance,
the redirection server automatically redirects the CAPWAP connection to that HiveManager instance. The
redirection server does this by sending the HiveAP the HiveManager domain name or IP address as its new CAPWAP
server. If the HiveAP is currently using HTTP and it will be redirected to a HiveManager Online VHM, the redirection
server also sends it the configuration needed to continue using HTTP. Similarly, if the HiveAP is accessing the
network through an HTTP proxy server, the redirection server also saves those settings on the HiveAP so it can reach
the HiveManager Online VHM using HTTP through the HTTP proxy server.
If the redirection server must redirect the HiveAP to a standalone HiveManager appliance or HiveManager Virtual
Appliance, then you must configure the connection settings on the redirection server that you want it to push to the
HiveAP to make that connection. The HiveAP first uses whatever settings are configured on it to reach the
redirection server, which might be on the other side of an HTTP proxy server or firewall that only permits outbound
HTTP traffic. Then the redirection server might supply the HiveAP with different settings so that the HiveAP can
reach a standalone HiveManager instance, which might be on the same side of the HTTP proxy server or firewall as
the HiveAP and therefore requires different connection parameters.
If the HiveAP serial number or MAC address is in the redirection server but the VHM has not yet been created or the
connection settings of the standalone HiveManager have not yet been configured on the redirection server, then the
HiveAP remains in the redirection server. The HiveManager admin must manually reassign it later to the appropriate
HiveManager.
(b) If the DNS server cannot resolve
the domain name to an IP address,
the HiveAP broadcasts CAPWAP
Discovery messages on its
local subnet. If HiveManager
is on the local network and
responds, they form a
secure CAPWAP connection.
(c) If the first two searches for a
local HiveManager produce no
results, the HiveAP tries to
contact HiveManager Online at
redirector.aerohive.com:12222.
If the Aerohive redirection server
has a serial number for that HiveAP
in its ACL, it responds and they form
a secure CAPWAP connection. If the
HiveAP cannot make a CAPWAP
connection to HiveManager Online on UDP
port 12222, it tries to reach it on TCP port
80. If this is unsuccessful, the HiveAP
returns to the initial search through a DNS
lookup and repeats the cycle.
(a) The HiveAP tries to connect to
HiveManager using the default
domain name
“hivemanager.<local_domain>”,
where “<local_domain>” is the
domain name that a DHCP server
supplied to the HiveAP and 12222 is
the UDP port number. If a DNS
server has been configured to
resolve that domain name to an IP
address, the HiveAP and
HiveManager then form a secure
CAPWAP connection on port 12222.
If the HiveAP cannot make a
CAPWAP connection to
HiveManager on port 12222, it tries
to reach it by using TCP port 80:
hivemanager.<local_domain>:80.

Using the Virtual Access Console
A HiveAP connected directly to the network is called a portal. You can also place a HiveAP within radio range of a
portal so that it forms a wireless link through the portal to the wired network. If the HiveAP forms a CAPWAP
connection with the Aerohive redirection server and its serial number has been entered in an ACL, the redirection
server automatically redirects the CAPWAP connection the corresponding HiveManager Online VHM (virtual
HiveManager). The redirection server sends the HiveAP the HiveManager domain name of IP address as its new
CAPWAP server and the name of the appropriate VHM. If the HiveAP is currently using HTTP, the redirection server
includes the configuration needed for the HiveAP to continue using it. Similarly, if the HiveAP is configured to access
the public network through an HTTP proxy server, the redirection server saves the relevant settings on the HiveAP so
it will continue using the HTTP proxy server when connecting to HiveManager.
If the redirection server does not have the HiveAP serial number, the ACL ignores the CAPWAP connection attempts,
and the HiveAP repeats the connection cycle shown in Figure 6.

DEPLOYMENT AND CONFIGURATION TIPS
This section contains tips and suggestions to help you troubleshoot any problems you may experience when you set
up your HiveAP.
• If the client fails to authenticate to an SSID using a PSK (preshared key), check that the PSK on the client
matches that on the HiveAP and reset one or both keys if necessary.
• If you manage the HiveAP through HiveManager Online and it does not show up on the Monitor > Access Points
> HiveAPs page, do the following:
• Check if the HiveAP serial number is listed in the ACL on the Aerohive redirection server. Log in to
myaerohive.com, and then click Redirector > Monitor > HiveAP Access Control List. If the serial number is
not in the ACL, click Enter, type the serial number in the HiveAP Serial Number field, and then click Save.
When done, reboot the HiveAP.
Use these commands: To do the following:
show interface Check the status of both wired and wireless interfaces
show interface mgt0 See the network settings (IP address, netmask, default
gateway) and VLAN ID of the mgt0 interface, which is the
management interface of the HiveAP.
no interface mgt0 dhcp client Disable the DHCP client
interface mgt0 ip <ip_addr> <netmask> Set the IP address and netmask of the mgt0 interface
interface mgt0 native-vlan <id> Set the native (untagged) VLAN that the switch

• Check connectivity to HiveManager Online:
ping redirector.aerohive.com
capwap ping redirector.aerohive.com
• Ensure that any intervening firewalls allow one of the following sets of services from the HiveAP to
HiveManager Online:
CAPWAP (UDP 12222), SSH (TCP 22), and HTTPS (TCP 443)
or
HTTP (TCP 80) and HTTPS (TCP 443)
• If a wireless client cannot form an association with an SSID, check that it is within range and is configured to use
the same authentication method as the SSID. For example, if the client is configured to use Open or WEP
authentication but the SSID is set for WPA or WPA2, the client will not be able to associate with the HiveAP. To
see the security settings for an SSID, click Configuration > SSIDs > ssid_name > Advanced Access Security
Settings, and look at the SSID access security type, the key management method, and the encryption method.
• If the client associates and authenticates itself, but the HiveAP cannot forward traffic, check that the HiveAP is
assigning the correct user profile, and if so, that it is also assigning the correct VLAN. To see the user profile and
VLAN that a HiveAP assigns to a client, log in to HiveManager, click Monitor > Clients > Active Clients >
client_mac_address. Check the user profile attribute and VLAN. If they are correct, then check that the client
has received its network settings through DHCP. To check connectivity to a DHCP server, click Tools > VLAN
Probe, choose the HiveAP with which the client is associated from the HiveAP drop-down list, and enter IDs for
the VLAN range that you want to check. Click Start to send a DHCP DISCOVER message, and see if it elicits a
response. Also check that the VLAN configuration for the port on the connecting switch is correct.
To remove all settings and return the configuration to its factory default settings, enter the reset config
command or use a pin to press the Reset button on the chassis and hold it down for at least 10 seconds.
